He uploaded the BBC News Titles 2007 and BBC World Countdown 2007 before they were broadcast.

By the looks of the number of new pictures on his website, it seems as though there will be a lot of new clips on the website.

Perhaps new music for the countdown??

Maybe I'm just being ignorant or your eyesight is amazing - I can't see it. But why does the local news have to use the same sofas as Newsround? It looks painful to sit on...


TV sofas are always uncomfortable to sit on.


Not the points west one!

Hope so, not because I don't like the current but because I just love hearing new BBC NEWS music!

I will also be annoyed if they don't move the numbers in line with the logo!

Inspector, I'm sure someone at LN will hire you right away. You sure are trying your best to sell the idea that nonsense such as 'research into audience perception' is a very important process in creating news titles.


Well of course it is... what happens if the public don't lke the end result... or what the designers and managerment have missed was that something in it which resembles a big purple cock!?

In terms of semiotics you can go very wrong indeed and be stuck with something dreadful for 5 years. The London 2012 logo for example... would they have gone with the 'Lisa Simpson giving head' idea if their focus group reaction had been the same as the publics?

Quote:

I'm sure executives have been wining and dining each other for months of in-depth meetings on shades of red, and the like, whilst thousands of BBC employees continue to fear for their jobs.


£500,000 is nothing in TV terms. I doubt much 'wining and dining' has gone on for that money.


Quote:

Utter nonsense, and its about time someone realised that news can be equally as effective and authoritive in a plain studio with titles created by the actual programme producers.

Need proof that they are capable? Look at BBC Arabic.


I suspect that re-designing the whole fo BBC News would have been a tall order for the regular designers who are occupied with day to day programmes!

The Arabic titles are quite nice but it's obvious that not a great deal of thought has gone into them, they're certainly not classics.


Ergh, don't talk to me about semiotics! Its so difficult to de-construct all your imagery to try and see every possible meaning that could be implied from it. Some people make a lot of money assessing the semiotics for ad agencies.

One good example are the old wonder bra adverts, "or are you pleased to see me"., but I digress.

Is it likely that the new music will make its way onto the forum in HQ?

Looking at that Britains most watched image, thats the BBC News ident, and BBC World News Ident, which is different from the titles, so does that mean the news channel will have an ident and titles, and does that mean new music for them?

I don't think so, it has been said numerous times that all title music will be the same.

(EDIT: By all title music I mean BBC News (channel), BBC Nationals and BBC World News)

Yes, but I am talking about the ident, not the titles...

Just seen Look East and they have a New Desk and a new part to the floor (very similar to the picture above).


What is the desk like? I didn't expect to see any changes to didn't record it.
